Definition of resilience

"In the context of exposure to significant adversity, resilience is both the capacity of individuals to navigate their way to the psychological, social, cultural, and physical resources that sustain their well-being, and their capacity individually and collectively to negotiate for these resources to be provided in culturally meaningful ways" (www.resilienceproject.org)

 Love's Resilience 

Música: Miguel Fernandes / letra: João Moita 

 

 The Daughters of Lot

 

Like we would care to beseech you
Like we would try to amuse you
Like we would mention we swallowed
Sorry
We didn’t mean it
We’re shaking
Fearing your renovation
Now it’s time of the getting closer
Closer
In a while you’ll make us smile
And ask for you not to tear the rope
Cause that’s how we broke free from hell
And loved you more much more than you could
Love with your resilience
Cause love ain’t partaking
Except for the making
Of the delusion, the fear and confusion
Of pain
Fearing for ourselves
Admitting that the thrill
Is what would get us apart from you
We’re just hanging in position
We are quitting love’s resilience
It hurts us so
That you would let us know
That we cannot be alone
Only if we could
Oh we know that we would
Alone
So close
To the meaning of the loneliness
We are meant to share
